Arapahoe District Attorney George Brauchler has been in office 15 minutes and he is already seeking higher office — the governorship? That is beyond insulting — it’s opportunism at it’s worst. The DA looks like the Gordon Gee of Colorado politics. I’m sure he’ll do well as a DA, but running for governor 15 minutes after being elected DA is sort of like expecting a Heisman Trophy because one watched 30 minutes of football. Better he should focus on the James Holmes case and proving his mettle as a top-notch DA.
